Start-stop video remotely - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi.
I need to start and stop video recording remotely. I tried to use the wired headset, I can start and stop the video with the volume buttons, but the stock camera app is using the headset's mic instead of the internal mic which is not good for me.
I installed soundabout from playstore, I tried to disable the detection of the mic of the headset, but the camera app is still using the headset mic...
I installed camera remote from playstore - I have android wear smartwatch - it's working fine, but it can't record in FullHD with 60 FPS.
Any suggestions?

I'm thinking tasker or automate it, there's a camera plug in for automate it but it only seems to take pics not video, there's bound to be a way to do it.

I'm recording squash games, the phone is on glass, and I need to start and stop after each game without taking the phone off from the glass.
I even tried with bluetooth headset, but the volume buttons on the BT headset do not control the camera application at all, it's adjusting the volume...
Maybe I need to use a 3rd party camera application, but neither I tried is able to record in 60 fps fullhd. I don't understand why, I think the capability of the camera can be queried by the application, so all is needed to let the user choose from the settings the camera is capable of. But it seems camera application developers are hard coding the formats I can choose from.

[Q] Testing Microphone - Any Apps to Try

I am trying to test the microphone on the GTab. I sideloaded fring and tried to make a test call. The microphone was all crackly. Not useable. Is there another app to try to test the mic? What I want to know is if it is the device or fring. I tried to get Yahoo Messenger with the Video app but I haven't been able to find the apk anywhere that is the current version.
how about the sound recorder that's included in the GAPPs file?

I was also going to suggest as the quickest check... or Rehersal Assistant from the Market if you want to really test sound quality better saving a raw uncompressed audio file for playback on tab or elsewhere...
Microphone Sucks
I purchased this in part to perhaps do video conferencing. I tried the sound recorder with the unit at arms length distance and tried to record my voice. It was so faint through the speakers with my normal speaking voice I could hardly tell that I had recorded anything. This is not a good sign. Even talking way loud (shooting), it was barely audible through the speakers with the volume at 100 percent. Now that may not be how someone would perceive it in a video chat application but I don't have high hopes.
Anyone else record anything through the microphone? Is there any other approach that would work (Bluetooth Headset)?
i have Talking Tom open at my desk while im at work because it entertains me when i yell at my employees
i notice no issues with volume or quality

settings for the screen recorder? mute mic? video quality?

First day with the Mate 9 and I'm loving the ability to record videos of the screen quickly and easily using the double knuckle tap or the volume up and power combo. But I don't want the mic on while recording. If I deny access to the microphone, it seems the recording won't even start. I found the app settings and can disable the microphone there, but again that prevents the recorder from starting. I don't need to hear the sound of my own breathing over my screen recordings. I would think there must be a way to setup some settings for the recordings, like enabling audio, changing the recording quality or encoding, etc. No? Am I missing something? Any workaround?
Me too. Worse, I keep getting a pop up throughout the recording telling me that Google can't listen while I'm recording.
Any solutions?

I think there's a setting in Google to turn off listening at all screens all the time. The message will go away. As for recording your own breathing - you can postprocess it in any video editor and just delete the sound track?

Thanks. I was afraid that the only way to prevent the pop up was complete disabling of the OK Google recognition.
I suppose I'll have to get a video editor...
I remember having that popup too, but it didn't always happen. I remember someone saying that there are too many apps "listening" which causes google to throw that pop-up. There's a huawei feature that listens for phone call instructions, plus the listener for "OK Google", plus the recorder using the mic all at the same time. I guess disable the ones you don't use until the popup stops.
As for the audio, I couldn't find a workaround. I wound up using an app called "Replace Add Audio to Video" by Clogica to strip audio from my videos after I record them. Needless to say having to strip audio for every video recorded is a hassle, which results in me not using the recording feature very much.
Yes, it's a pity that the system app, screen recorder, has not any setting option to disable mic.
Anyone help me ? Got a honor 9 and everytime I try to use the screen recorder it says I need to enable it withing my permission for microphone. I have enabled it yet it's still telling me I need to do so. I've restated it and can't get it to work plz help!

I had the same issue just today on my huawei p10. But solved it through the following:
Settings->Apps & notifications - >Permissions - >microphone->show system(top right corner) - > search for screen recording->enable
Hope this helps
Thanks. It works :good:
On EMUI 9, you're given an option to disable the microphone.

For recording your voice, yes. Use a third party app like Parrot that lets you choose a mic. Some video apps probably do the same.

Enable external mic in video recording in Honor 6X

With a decent camera on the Honor 6X, wanted to create some 1080p videos for YouTube. The problem that I faced was that, even with all the appropriate converters from TRRS to TRS mic and speaker splitter, I could not make the stock camera app or the reputed third party apps like open camera and Camera FV5 to start recording from the external mic . Even with the right choice selected on the third party apps, it just records from the built-in mic.
Is there any way to force the app to recognise the external mic. To note the external mic works fine with voice calling, but not with video recording.
Open camera is the app you can try.

Samsung Note 10 or 10 Plus with external mic - Rode VideoMic Me-C & Saramonic SmartMic+ UC + gain controller

Is there any way to controller the gain of external mic in Samsung Note 10 or 10 Plus?
I am using Rode VideoMic Me USB-C Edition and Saramonic SmartMic+ UC. When I record video through Samsung's default camera app or any other camera app, a lot of hissing sound is in the video. The only way to control or reduce the gain is through the pro video mode of Samsung's default camera app. But using pro video mode to get a decent video means doing settings for white balance, focus, etc. everytime and by the time settings are done, moment is already gone.
I tried 3rd party app called Microphone Amplifier and Google Amplifier but there was not effect.
So, is there a way to control or reduce the gain of external mic while recording through Samsung's default camera app (with default mode) or any other camera? If there is any 3rd party app other than mentioned above, then also it's fine.
Thanks in advance.
Hissing, wind noise?
Try a foam sock. Or a mic with gain control.

No wind noise because both foam and cat hairs are on. But yes, huge hissing sound. Also, recording is too loud. No mic is available which is in small form factor and has gain controller.
Not many options in settings. Try the zoom in mic option. May or may not help.
Maybe there's a 3rd party mic management app on Playstore or the Samsung Galaxy store.

Zoom in mic option didn't help. I tried few 3rd party apps (mentioned in initial post) but that too didn't help. That's why I asked about it here, if somebody know about such third party app.
